IN THE KENNELS.
An Aggregation of Dogs to Be
Shown the Public To-day.

Hundreds of dogs barked with one
accord last evening in the old skating
rink of Jackson street, as small, woody
object was led through their midst by a
chain, the safe end of which was in the
hands of a small but ambitious boy.
The cause of the outbreak among the
CANNES was grizzly bear cub, and i'm
ported and hOmebred talent were unani-
nous for having the intruder fired out.
Bruln, however, after being safely
anchored at the east end of the hall,
sat on his launches, sucked his fore
paws contentedly and calmly surveyed
his enemies, who were at a safe dis
tance.
''That BEAR" said his owner, A.
POnpenry, of st. Paul, twas captured
last May on the summit of the Cascade
mountains by Il railroad section hand of
whom bought the prize. l brought
him to my home in this city and since
he has been in my possession he has
never harmed soul, but is as playful
as a kitten. In fact, his chosen COM
panion in my yard is small Maltese
cat with whom he will gambol by the
hour
This is but one of the many attrac-
lions provided for visitors to the Mime
sofa Bench show, and the interest taken
by lady exhibitors in the kennels for
their pets has taken the form not only
of elaborate but tasteful handiwork
Particularly is this true of kennel in
the northeast corner of the hall, the
tenant of which is st. Bernard named
Monk. Nearly all day yesterday his
owner, Mrs. j. E. Stryker, devoted her
time to arranging comforts and tasteful
accessories for her pet, and from the

the name of the occupant and tackled it
up over the entrance, and with this
meager decorative material has
made the kennel one of the
most attractive in the room.
In direct contrast to the almost Spartan
like simplicity of Monks apartment are
the luxurious quarters of the pugS and
skyterriers exhibited by Mrs. G. S.
Cummings. Over the top Of the kennel
are two large bronze Moorish bust fig
ures, and between them is an eXouiS-
itely hammered gold and bronze fan,

mentS OF the kennels, and the floors are
covered with quilted pigeon-egg blue
silk, so that
THE DAINTY DARIINGS
will not soil their feet. Mrs. Thomas
Race has also displayed great deal of
taste III the arrangement of the quarters
for group OF Yorkshire terriers. and,
among other things, small bedStead
with cOyerlid of plush is conspicuous
in one corner.
Otto Second is the name of an i'm
mense specimen OF the st. Bernard
breed that was exercised on the streets
of st: Paul yesterday, and he is the head
OF family comprising a mother and six
puppies, whose equals have never been
seen in this section of the country. At
the winter carnival last year Otto car
ried Off gold medal, of which. his
owner is very proud. In the ada
cent compartment are the st. Ber-
nardS, FOlkO and Bamua, two magnif-
cent specimens of the noble breed of
animals that have SO often succored and
rescued weary travellers in the mountain
passes OF Switzerland, and they are de-
servedly objects of a great deal of in
tereSt to the visitors, who have Swarmed
through the hall inspecting and patting
the dogs.
In the mastiff class are the Wacouta
kennels of ST. Paul, who have dozen
as fine dogs in the exhibit as can be
found anywhere in the world. I'M
mense heads, strong bodies, good chests
and Staunch quarters are the qualities
possessed by these sagacious brutes,
and since being carefully rubbed and
cleaned by their handler, they are more
attractive than ever.
Bedlington terriers is the proper
name of a couple of vigilant animals
that resemble the skye terrier very
much, save that they have shorter and
crisper hair, and they have the merit of
being the only two of their kind in this
cOlIDtrV ANYTHING from 6i,nin
black and tan scarcely larger than
rat up to st. Bernards or mastiffs as
large as Shetland ponies, and settlers,
pointers, fox hounds, cocker spaniels
and, in fact, everything that good
breeding can produce or money pur-
chase in the line of dog flesh has been
cOngregated for this exhibition.
